A. Project Background
Project Background
Purpose of Survey: Pre-demolition
Asbestos Survey Contractor: Lakeland Environmental Inc.
Date of Survey: August 25, 2018
Inspector(s): Stephen Major
NYSDOL Certificate(s): 03-01809
Client: Latipac Builders
Site Name: Single-Family Residence
Site Address: 1057 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, New York
Brief Building Description: The subject structure is a wood-framed house
Property Owner: Linda Ruth
Owner Mailing Address: 1061 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, NY 14850
Occupancy: Vacant
This building survey was performed on the subject building as part of the requirements for demolition and/or renovation under the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) Industrial Code Rule 56, to determine if asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were used to build the structure. Suspect building materials were categorized into homogeneous areas and then inspected and sampled in order to be identified as ACMs or non-asbestos containing materials (NACMs).
B. Significant Findings
The findings of this asbestos survey are listed below. Additional details are presented in Section IV.
1057 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, NY – Pre-Demolition Survey
The following materials were found to contain asbestos in concentrations greater than 1%:
Friable ACMs
• Friable fabric duct tape on ducts in the basement (approximately 5 square feet visible; additional material may exist in hidden cavities within the structure).
• Friable joint compound in the second floor mid bathroom (approximately 100 square feet estimated). This material may exist in other rooms. A joint compound study is necessary to properly delineate the extent of this ACM within the structure. Otherwise, all joint compound in the structure must be assumed to be ACM.
Non-Friable ACMs
• Non-friable green 9x9 floor tiles in the second floor corridor and the first floor kitchen and vestibule (approximately 300 square feet estimated). This material is largely hidden beneath other flooring and may be located in additional rooms; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate. The associated mastic is non-ACM.
• Non-friable blue 9x9 floor tiles in the second floor laundry room (approximately 150 square feet estimated). This material is largely hidden beneath other flooring and may be located in other rooms; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate. The associated mastic is non-ACM.
• Non-friable red vinyl flooring in the first floor kitchen and vestibule (approximately 150 square feet). This material is located beneath other flooring.
• Non-friable asphaltic roll roofing on the low-slope roof hidden in the attic (approximately 150 square feet). This material is located beneath non-ACM roll roofing.
• Non-friable asphaltic flashing cement at joints and penetrations in the roof (approximately 20 square feet). This material is located on roofing hidden in the attic as well as exposed on the main roof at chimneys, pipes, etc. Some of this material may be located beneath the top layer of metal roofing; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate.

B. Purpose of Survey
This survey was conducted in order to determine whether asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and/or asbestos materials are present in the structure. Asbestos can cause debilitating or fatal illnesses. When disturbed, as during demolition or renovation activities, asbestos fibers can become airborne whereupon they can create a health hazard. ACMs and asbestos materials in buildings, and the disturbance of same, are regulated under federal, state, and local laws. As part of asbestos surveys, suspect ACMs are identified and, where appropriate, sampled for analysis by an accredited laboratory. The suspect materials are also grouped into two categories: friable (able to be crushed or pulverized by hand pressure) and non-friable. Materials that are typically non-friable in their normal state, such as asphalt roofing or resilient floor tile, may become friable when subjected to mechanical abrasion activities (e.g. dry cutting or floor sanding). The physical disintegration of the material could cause asbestos fibers to be dispersed into the air.

D. Limits of Survey
It is the belief of the inspector that the survey was comprehensive in nature. However, certain materials could exist within the survey area that were not exposed even though destructive techniques were authorized. Accessible areas were visually inspected and covering surfaces were removed as safety concerns and the limits of the survey permitted. The described locations of ACMs may not be all-inclusive. Quantities of ACMs are estimated and are not intended to be used for abatement project bidding/pricing. The abatement contractor, project designer, and others are advised to verify all site parameters including material quantities.
III. Asbestos Survey Procedures A. Inspection & Sampling
The physical inspection of the property was conducted on August 25, 2018. The inspection consisted of the examination of accessible suspect materials (which may contain asbestos) in interior and exterior installations within the structure, in accordance with 12NYCRR Part 56-1.9. Asbestos records: No records were provided that indicate the presence of ACMs in the building. The structure was visually inspected to identify potential ACMs. The inspector assessed each suspect material to determine whether the material was friable or non-friable. Quantities and condition of suspect ACMs were recorded. The suspect materials in this inspection were flooring, mastics, drywall, joint compound, plaster, ceiling tiles, fiberboard and gypsum panels, thinset mortar, grout, clay block mortar, window glazing compound, roofing, felts, insulation, and thermal system insulation. A total of 67 samples were collected and submitted for analysis. Certain building materials that were obviously not ACMs, such as wood, concrete, glass, and metal, were not sampled.
B. Laboratory Testing
Collected samples were sealed for transport under chain-of-custody documentation to AmeriSci Laboratories in New York, NY, NYS ELAP #11480. Samples were received at the laboratory on August 29, 2018. The analytical data were received from the laboratory on September 5, 2018. A copy of the laboratory’s certification is included in Appendix B.
1057 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, NY – Pre-Demolition Survey
Either Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with Dispersion Staining or Gravimetric Matrix Reduction and PLM with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), used for negative confirmation, were performed. Non-friable organically bound samples (NOBs) such as vinyl floor tile or asphalt-based roofing material are required, in NYS, to be analyzed utilizing gravimetric reduction protocols. NOB samples testing negative under the PLM portion of this examination underwent TEM analysis. Multiple samples were taken of most homogeneous suspect materials. In order to minimize analytical costs the laboratory was instructed to forego additional analyses if and when one sample of a multiple homogeneous group or a layered system tested positive (positive stop).
IV. Findings A. Laboratory Results
The laboratory analytical results are attached as Appendix A. B. Summary of Findings
The following materials were found to contain asbestos in concentrations greater than 1%:
Friable ACMs
• Friable fabric duct tape on ducts in the basement (approximately 5 square feet visible; additional material may exist in hidden cavities within the structure).
• Friable joint compound in the second floor mid bathroom (approximately 100 square feet estimated). This material may exist in other rooms. A joint compound study is necessary to properly delineate the extent of this ACM within the structure. Otherwise, all joint compound in the structure must be assumed to be ACM.
Non-Friable ACMs
• Non-friable green 9x9 floor tiles in the second floor corridor and the first floor kitchen and vestibule (approximately 300 square feet estimated). This material is largely hidden beneath other flooring and may be located in additional rooms; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate. The associated mastic is non-ACM.
• Non-friable blue 9x9 floor tiles in the second floor laundry room (approximately 150 square feet estimated). This material is largely hidden beneath other
1057 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, NY – Pre-Demolition Survey
flooring and may be located in other rooms; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate. The associated mastic is non-ACM.
• Non-friable red vinyl flooring in the first floor kitchen and vestibule (approximately 150 square feet). This material is located beneath other flooring.
• Non-friable asphaltic roll roofing on the low-slope roof hidden in the attic (approximately 150 square feet). This material is located beneath non-ACM roll roofing.
• Non-friable asphaltic flashing cement at joints and penetrations in the roof (approximately 20 square feet). This material is located on roofing hidden in the attic as well as exposed on the main roof at chimneys, pipes, etc. Some of this material may be located beneath the top layer of metal roofing; therefore, the listed quantity is a rough estimate.

ACM Asbestos-containing material.
Air-Cell Thermal pipe insulation comprised of corrugated layers which form air spaces.
Asbestos Any of several naturally-occurring amphibole and serpentine minerals which separate into long threadlike fibers.
Asphaltic Having an asphalt or tar-like matrix, as in a typical roof shingle.
BR Bedroom
BUR Built-up roofing; typically layers of asphaltic felt bonded and sealed with tar or pitch.
Ceil Ceiling
Cementitious Having a lime-cement matrix; such materials are typically hard and rigid.
Code Rule 56 A part of the Codes, Rules, and Regulations of New York State intended to control asbestos removal and disturbance activities. Technically referred to as “12 NYCRR Part 56.”
CT Ceiling tile.
DR Dining room.
Drywall A gypsum-based sheet with heavy paper facings, used as a wall and ceiling finish, fire stopping, and sound-deadening.
E East on the compass.
ELAP Environmental Laboratory Approval Program, administered by the New York State Department of Health.
Felt Any of a variety of thick papers and fabrics that are formed by pressing fibers into place, rather than weaving.
Friable Able to be crushed or pulverized by hand pressure.
Glazing Compound
A putty or caulk used to set and seal glass in a window frame.
HVAC Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Joint Compound A gypsum or lime based plaster-like material used to conceal and finish joints in drywall.
Kit Kitchen.
Lagging Thermal insulation typically installed on a boiler or tank.
l.f. Linear feet; a unit of measure typically used to quantify the length of pipe insulation.
Limited For asbestos surveys, the term “limited” acknowledges the fact that all possible suspect materials may not be observed. Some materials can be concealed within inaccessible areas or cannot be reached due to safety concerns. Also, a client may request a survey with limits.
